AfterFast, Reliable Roof Replacement & Installation Across Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Roof replacement in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea runs between $12,500 and $38,000 for a typical single-family home, depending on whether you go with architectural shingles, tile, or standing-seam metal. Most jobs in this coastal town take five to ten working days once materials land on site, with custom tile orders adding four to six weeks of fabrication time. If you’re looking at a roof that’s outlived its useful life or took a beating during the last hurricane season, call us at (844) 901-4551 for a free in-home measure and written quote. We’re Ed Winslow’s crew, and we’ve been putting roofs over South Florida homes since 2011.
Why Winslow Windows & Doors Is Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s Preferred Roof Replacement & Installation Company
You won’t get a ticket number from us. You’ll get Ed’s word, backed by the Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right. That’s a hundred years of accountability folded into one promise, and no national chain can say that with a straight face. We answer our phones 24/7 with a live person, not a voicemail loop. When you call about a roof in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, you talk to someone who knows what salt air does to flashing and why your underlayment choice matters more three blocks from the Atlantic than it does ten miles inland.
Every technician who pulls up to your home is background-checked and in uniform, so you know exactly who’s walking onto your property before the truck door opens. We carry the license, we publish the address, and we stand behind every roof we install. Our Roof Replacement & Installation team has worked on vintage beach cottages, mid-rise condos, and everything in between across this barrier island community. We know the HOAs, we know the wind zone, and we know what building officials in Broward County expect when they come out for an inspection.
Our Roof Replacement & Installation Services in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Shingle Roof Replacement
Architectural asphalt shingles remain the most common choice among Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners on a budget, with full tear-offs typically landing between $12,500 and $22,000 depending on roof complexity. We install Owens Corning and GAF systems with upgraded synthetic underlayment, because the standard felt paper of twenty years ago doesn’t hold up to the driven rain we get off the Atlantic. East-facing roof planes on El Mar Drive and along A1A take a beating from constant easterly onshore winds, so we add extra fasteners and upgraded starter strips on those elevations. Every shingle roof we install meets current HVHZ uplift requirements.
Tile Roof Replacement
Concrete and clay tile roofs are everywhere in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s older neighborhoods, and replacing one runs $22,000 to $38,000 for most homes here. Tile looks right on a 1960s beach cottage and survives salt spray better than shingles, but the underlayment underneath typically fails long before the tile itself shows wear. We do full tear-offs down to the decking, replace rotted or delaminated sheathing, and install a modern two-ply modified bitumen or synthetic underlayment that can handle our humidity and wind-driven rain. In this town, reusing old tile over bad underlayment is a false economy we won’t sign off on.
Metal Roof Replacement
Standing-seam metal roofing costs anywhere from $24,000 to $42,000 on Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homes, and it’s quietly becoming the smart choice for oceanfront properties. Metal shrugs off salt corrosion better than any other roof system we install, and the interlocking panel design gives you superior uplift resistance when a hurricane gets close. The tradeoff is noise during heavy rain, but on a coastal home that’s already fighting the elements on every other surface, the durability argument usually wins. We install 24-gauge steel and aluminum panels with concealed fasteners and factory-applied finishes rated for marine environments.
Flat and Low-Slope Roof Systems
Plenty of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s mid-century commercial conversions and early condo buildings still carry flat or low-slope roofs, and those need a different approach. We install TPO, modified bitumen, and PVC membrane systems ranging from $14,000 to $30,000 depending on square footage and deck condition. Flat roofs on buildings within 200 feet of the shoreline fail faster here than almost anywhere in Broward County because of constant UV exposure, salt air, and ponding water from our afternoon storms. We slope the insulation properly, seam the membrane with hot-air welding where possible, and make sure the drain scuppers can actually move water during a squall.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
We install roofing systems from manufacturers we trust, but we’re also one of the few Lauderdale-by-the-Sea contractors who can handle roof-adjacent work involving PGT, CGI, and CWS impact windows and doors at the same time. That matters on a full exterior renovation, because coordinating the roof deck, fascia, and window openings makes for a tighter, better-sealed job. We stock commonly needed flashing, underlayment, and edge metal locally so turnaround stays quick. No waiting on a warehouse in another state when your roof is open and rain is coming.
Common Roof Replacement & Installation Problems We See in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Homes
- Salt-air corrosion on metal flashing: Within a single year, exposed flashing on oceanfront roofs starts showing white corrosion blooms and pitting. We use marine-grade stainless or copper flashing on any Lauderdale-by-the-Sea home within sight of the water, because standard galvanized flashing fails fast here.
- Failed underlayment hiding under intact tile: The tiles on a 1960s bungalow can look fine while the underlayment beneath has turned to powder, letting water run straight into the decking. We find this on at least half the tile roofs we tear off in the 33303 ZIP code.
- Wind-driven rain intrusion around roof penetrations: Constant easterly winds off the Atlantic push water sideways into vents, pipe boots, and skylight curbs that would be fine in a calmer climate. We install storm-rated covers and secondary water barriers at every penetration on coastal homes.
- Condo HOA delays from unapproved materials: Mid-rise condos along the beach in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea generally require board-approved product lists for any exterior roof or adjacent work. Installing materials that aren’t on the list stalls the project and may force us to tear off and redo work at your expense, so we verify the list before we order anything.
Pricing for Roof Replacement & Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL
For a standard three-bedroom single-family home in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a full architectural shingle replacement runs $12,500 to $22,000. Tile moves you into the $22,000 to $38,000 range. Standing-seam metal starts near $24,000 and can reach $42,000 on complex roofs with multiple planes and skylights. What moves the number is roof size and pitch, number of penetrations, decking condition once we tear off, and whether you’re in an HOA that dictates materials. We write every quote as a line-item fixed price, not an estimate with wiggle room. Call (844) 901-4551 and we’ll come measure, inspect, and hand you a written quote for free. No trip charge inside our home county, and we’ll give you a free second opinion on any written estimate you already have.
What Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Let’s be direct about the range so you can plan. A straightforward architectural shingle roof on a smaller 1950s or 1960s cottage in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea typically lands between $12,500 and $18,000. A larger home or a tile roof runs higher, with most full tile replacements falling between $24,000 and $38,000. If you’re pricing standing-seam metal for an oceanfront property, expect $24,000 to $42,000 depending on square footage and roof complexity. The biggest variables in this town are roof pitch, number of hips and valleys, how many penetrations you have for vents and skylights, and what condition the decking is in once we peel back the old roof. We don’t write change orders for surprises we could have caught during inspection. Our free in-home measure includes a full attic walk, decking assessment, and written line-item quote. There’s no pressure and no trip charge. Call (844) 901-4551 to schedule yours.
Florida Pays You Back
Florida homeowners in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea may qualify for serious offsets when they do a roof replacement tied to wind-mitigation upgrades. The My Safe Florida Home program offers matching grants up to $10,000 for qualifying wind-mitigation work, which can include roof decking upgrades, secondary water barriers, and opening protection. There’s also a sales-tax exemption in Florida on impact-resistant windows and doors when purchased as part of a qualifying project. On the federal side, the 25C energy credit can return 30% of product cost up to $600 per year on qualifying units. After a wind-mitigation inspection (runs roughly $75 to $150), many homeowners see windstorm premium credits averaging around 25% on the windstorm portion of their policy. We don’t set those numbers and we don’t guarantee what your carrier will approve, but we’ll help you document everything for the application. Programs and carrier decisions are the final word.

FAQs — Roof Replacement & Installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
Jalousie windows are specifically prohibited under HVHZ code in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, so once you open that wall, you cannot legally reinstall any louvered glass unit in a storm zone. The code requires full impact-rated replacement, which means the entire rough opening gets rebuilt to modern structural standards, not just the sash. In inland Broward cities, retrofits may still apply, but not here. We quote the job as a full-opening replacement from the first site visit, so there are no surprises when the permit comes back. Call (844) 901-4551 to have us take a look at what you’re working with. The measure and written quote are free.
Yes, and we actually prefer it when an HOA has a written approved list, because it removes guesswork. We routinely work with Lauderdale-by-the-Sea condo boards and property managers to match the required brands, which usually include PGT, CGI, or CWS products with specific design pressure ratings. We pull the approved product list before ordering a single unit, then confirm your specific floor and elevation rating requirements, because a third-floor oceanfront unit in the same building can carry different structural requirements than a rear-facing ground unit. Everything we install carries Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval numbers matching the opening. If your board needs documentation for a review, we’ll provide it.
On oceanfront units within 100 to 200 feet of the Atlantic, east-facing window seals and door sweeps typically fail within 3 to 5 years, and metal hardware shows visible corrosion inside a single season if it wasn’t marine-grade from day one. Look for fogging between the panes, chalky white residue on aluminum tracks, or condensation you can’t wipe away. When we replace a window on a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea beachfront property, we spec marine-grade hardware and corrosion-resistant frames from day one, because the salty alternative means a shorter service life than the warranty would suggest. Our Window Installation — Lauderdale-by-the-Sea crews know which products survive within a hundred feet of the surf. Call (844) 901-4551 if you’re spotting these signs while you still can get ahead of the water damage.
Yes, and it’s measurable. Single-pane sliders and old jalousies that are common in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s 1950s and 1960s concrete-block homes are the biggest thermal leaks in the building envelope. Impact-rated units like PGT and CGI carry Low-E coatings and insulated glass that cut solar heat gain in our near-constant sun, and every sealed unit kills the air infiltration that old jalousies are famous for. The Federal 25C energy credit may apply, and the Florida sales-tax exemption on impact windows and doors can take additional cost out of the project. Your exact savings depend on the condition of your current windows and how much of your home you replace. A full-home package gives you the most consistent comfort and the biggest reduction.
The short answer is that the permit already anticipated it. When we open a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea wall for a window replacement, especially on one of the older concrete-block cottages near El Mar Drive, we regularly find original 1950s or 1960s wiring and framing that was undersized for current code before we ever touched the opening. Any newly exposed framing must be brought to current structural standards before we close it, and any accessible wiring must be corrected. Here’s how we handle it: we inspect before we quote, we write allowances into the contract for known risk areas, and any surprise condition gets documented, priced, and approved by you in writing before we change scope. You are never handed a surprise invoice at the end. Call (844) 901-4551 for a free estimate and a straight conversation about what your specific home is likely to need.
What to Expect When We Open Up a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Wall
Here’s the thing nobody tells you about replacing windows or doing roof-adjacent work on a 1960s Lauderdale-by-the-Sea cottage: the moment you open the wall, you find what’s been hiding in it for sixty years. We’ve seen original cloth-wrapped wiring running right behind a rotten jamb. We’ve seen framing that was undersized the day it was nailed in. We’ve seen water damage from failed waterproofing that no one knew about because the stucco was hiding it from the outside. On a job over off El Mar Drive, we opened a wall to replace a corroded aluminum jalousie unit and found the rough opening was undersized for any modern impact-rated glazing. We rebuilt the jamb, upgraded the framing to meet current design pressure, and installed PGT casement windows with laminated glass interlayer and Miami-Dade NOA, all while documenting the newly exposed wiring that triggered a permit upgrade. That’s the job. We don’t skip it, and we don’t bury it. Inspection first. Allowances in the contract. Any surprise priced and approved in writing before we touch it. That’s how Ed Winslow runs a job, and that’s how our Roof Replacement & Installation crews work in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea every day.
Impact Windows vs. Hurricane Shutters: The Honest Comparison
Some Lauderdale-by-the-Sea homeowners ask us whether they should just put up shutters and skip the impact glass. Here’s the straight answer. Shutters protect the opening, but only if someone is home to deploy them and only if they’re installed correctly every single time a storm approaches. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Impact Windows protect your home permanently with no panels to store, carry, or wrestle into place at 10 p.m. while a hurricane watch is active. They also add everyday value: sound reduction, UV protection, and a real improvement in your cooling bill. On a barrier island town like Lauderdale-by-the-Sea where evacuations can leave properties unattended, we think permanent protection is the smarter buy. But if your budget says shutters this year and windows next year, we’ll tell you that too. We don’t oversell what you don’t need.
